For my summer job, I am making a set of shutter drivers out of former ipods. Currently we are soldering wires onto the pin pads (which have 1/8''pitch) for the lack of any other solution. Of course they are not meant to be soldered and I am worried that in the near future (if someone is not careful) the thin plastic will break. We have looked throguh all the suppliers to try and find a possible coonnectior that might work, but had no luck.

Please see pictures attached. Looking for any constructive suggestions. Thanks.

Thank you for reply, we will probably end up doing what you suggested (it remains the popular choice - cheap).

Would be nice to find a connector to avoid soldering alltogether as the underlying plastic overheats and weakens in the process... Quite sure about the spacing, but since the device is Apple, not likely to find anything on the market as I believe all their parts are proprietary
